Study finds estrogen therapy gives aging brain cells a boost
Cyclical, long-term estrogen injections protected brain cells from age-related deterioration, according to a new study conducted at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.   view more (2007-06-26)

Putting a stop to antibiotic resistance with new drugs from seaweed
Scientists have found a new way to prevent life-threatening infections not by killing the bacteria but by preventing them from talking to each other, according to research published today in the journal Microbiology. We`ve found that a group of chemicals called furanones can prevent the build up of... view more (2001-12-21)

Ovary removal surgery elevates risk for dementia
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that ovariectomy, surgical removal of a woman's ovaries, raises her risk of developing dementia or cognitive impairment. Risk is especially increased if a woman has her ovaries removed at a young age.   view more (2006-04-06)

New synthetic compounds appear to prevent brain cell death
Spanish chemists have developed a promising set of synthetic compounds that one day could help slow or perhaps halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders.   view more (2005-12-21)

Nanotech and synbio: Americans don't know what's coming
A groundbreaking poll finds that almost half of U.S. adults have heard nothing about nanotechnology, and nearly nine in 10 Americans say they have heard just a little or nothing at all about the emerging field of synthetic biology, according to a new report released by the Project on Emerging... view more (2008-09-30)

Some nonhormonal therapies may offer relief from hot flashes, but with possible adverse effects
A meta-analysis of previously published studies examining the use of nonhormonal therapies for treating menopausal hot flashes finds that some therapies are effective, but less so than estrogen, and have possible adverse effects that may restrict their use.   view more (2006-05-03)

Breast cancer drugs may slow growth of lung cancer
A few years ago researchers discovered that, much like breast tumors, some lung tumors also thrive on estrogen. Now a medical student conducting research on a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) fellowship and colleagues have managed to stop the growth of human lung cancer cells in mice with a... view more (2005-12-15)

Birth control has long-term effect on hormone exposure
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine may be one step closer to understanding why past oral contraceptive use dramatically lowers the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers later in life.   view more (2008-10-21)

Estrogen use lowered one risk factor for heart disease among some younger postmenopausal women
A follow-up study to the federally funded Women's Health Initiative should help allay one concern in a subset of women in their 50s who are considering taking estrogen to relieve hot flashes.   view more (2007-06-21)

Estrogens as antioxidants - reducing heart disease in younger postmenopausal women
HRT could be used to protect younger postmenopausal women from heart disease. An article published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease shows that estrogens commonly used in HRT reduce the build up of harmful oxidised lipoproteins, which can lead to heart disease, by acting as antioxidants.   view more (2003-07-04)

Researchers create safer alternative to heparin
Robert Linhardt has spent years stitching together minuscule carbohydrates to build a more pure and safer alternative to the commonly used and controversial blood thinner heparin.   view more (2008-08-18)

New Clues to Breast Cancer Development in High-Risk Women
Physicians who treat women with the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 often remove their patients' ovaries to eliminate the source of estrogen they believe fuels cancer growth.   view more (2007-09-12)

Delayed neurological development contributes to night-time bedwetting in some children
Night-time bedwetting in some children is likely to be caused by delayed neurological development, finds research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. This can be predicted by a drawing test, shows the research. Thirty four children aged between 7 years and 13 were studied. They all wet the bed... view more (2002-08-20)

MU researcher links hormone replacement therapy to breast cancer
Millions of post-menopausal women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a method to reduce symptoms associated with menopause. In a recent University of Missouri study, researchers found that one of the hormones used in HRT, a synthetic progestin, could be a major factor in promoting breast... view more (2008-04-02)

Study finds it pays to be heart smart if considering hormone therapy
A research study has found that a simple blood test may indicate whether post-menopausal hormone therapies present an elevated risk of a heart attack.   view more (2008-05-22)

Suspicion lingers over bisphenol A and breast cancer
Bisphenol A, a common industrial chemical claimed to speed the growth of human breast and ovarian cancers, retains its carcinogenic properties even after being modified by body processes.   view more (2006-08-28)

New EMBO/NPG journal - A first in systems biology publishing

Research shows certain metabolites responsible for initiating breast and prostate cancer
Cancer researchers have discovered that metabolites of natural estrogens can react with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to cause specific damage that initiates the series of events leading to breast, prostate and other human cancers.   view more (2006-03-29)

Mitochondria play role in pathogenesis of AD and estrogen-induced neuroprotection
As the major source of free radicals in cells, mitochondria contribute to the high levels of oxidative stress believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2008-04-07)

Harmful chemicals may reprogram gene response to estrogen
New research shows that exposure to harmful chemicals and drugs during critical developmental periods early in life may actually "reprogram" the way certain genes respond to the female hormone estrogen. This genetic reprogramming may determine whether people with a genetic predisposition... view more (2005-05-31)

Effect of hormone therapy on risk of heart disease may vary by age and years since menopause
Secondary analyses of findings from the Womenˇ¦s Health Initiative (WHI) suggest that women who begin hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause may have less risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) due to hormone therapy than women farther from menopause.   view more (2007-04-04)

Estrogen therapy in younger postmenopausal women linked to less plaque in arteries
New results from a substudy of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Estrogen-Alone Trial show that younger postmenopausal women who take estrogen-alone hormone therapy have significantly less buildup of calcium plaque in their arteries compared to their peers who did not take hormone therapy.   view more (2007-06-21)

Dietary calcium is better than supplements at protecting bone health
Women who get most of their daily calcium from food have healthier bones than women whose calcium comes mainly from supplemental tablets.   view more (2007-06-20)

Postmenopausal hormone therapy and coronary disease -- the truth of the matter
With each new publication of coronary artery disease (CAD) data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, the inevitable reaction is "Why on earth did the WHI investigators claim in 2002-2004 that postmenopausal hormone therapy has deleterious effects on the risk for CAD, when, from the... view more (2007-06-21)

Migraines associated with lower risk of breast cancer
Women who suffer from migraines may take at least some comfort in a recent, first-of-its-kind study that suggests a history of such headaches is associated with a significantly lower risk of breast cancer.   view more (2008-11-06)
